“And this is not even basketball,” Beverley added. “Two guys fell on the floor today. Half the team helped one guy up, half the team helped the other, that shows that we’re building a brotherhood here. And the more we do that, be a cohesive unit and …

“And this is not even basketball,” Beverley added. “Two guys fell on the floor today. Half the team helped one guy up, half the team helped the other, that shows that we’re building a brotherhood here. And the more we do that, be a cohesive unit and be together, wins will come.”

Darvin Ham says Anthony Davis will not play on the second half of the back-to-back Thursday. He will also hold LeBron James and Russell Westbrook out. He said Patrick Beverley will be 50-50. – 12:49 AM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
AD, Westbrook and LeBron will all rest tomorrow due to it being a B2B in the preseason. Beverley could sit too (Ham said it’s 50-50). – 12:45 AM
Kyle Goon @kylegoon
Darvin Ham said he’s going to stick to the plan not to play AD, LeBron or Russ tomorrow. Patrick Beverley is “50-50” for tomorrow’s game against his former team Minnesota. – 12:45 AM

Patrick Beverley appears to be leading a highly supportive, energetic bench group at the moment, which was lacking at times last season. – 11:43 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
LAL’s lead is 75-70 with Westbrook (21 minutes) and Beverley (20) coming out at the 8:48 mark, joining LeBron (17) on the bench.
That could be it tonight for the three vets. – 11:35 PM
Kyle Goon @kylegoon
Guessing that’s it for Russ and Pat Bev tonight based on Darvin Ham’s pregame minutes estimates. – 11:34 PM

Pat Bev is playing better defense in the preseason than most of the Lakers did all of last season. – 11:08 PM
Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
As for the perimeter, Patrick Beverley will likely guard Chris Paul.
That’s self explanatory.
That leaves Russell Westbrook on Devin Booker. Darvin Ham has said he’s looking for Westbrook to defend.
Monty Williams plans to play guys more minutes. #Suns #Lakers10:11 PM

More on this storyline

“I just feel like, you go through a season especially with new guys, new faces, and a new team, I think you have to build that brotherhood first,” Beverley said following the Lakers’ five-point loss. “That brotherhood comes with trust and once you build that brotherhood and you start to trust each other, I think the basketball comes easy.” -via Lakers Nation / October 6, 2022
